I got these to replace my old Voile split board skins and couldn't be happier. I live in Mount Shasta and they have proved to be perfect for our ever-changing conditions - I can be hiking up powder one day and the same route covered in crust the next day and these bad boys handle either like a champ. I also love the flame graphics :-) I've had no problem with snow getting trapped between the skins and board and the hardware all seems solid and durable. Much easier to attach than the Voile skins too.
